There are many reasons for kids to become involved in the martial arts. We have developed a program based on traditional Taekwondo for kids called Karate for Kids. The Karate for Kids system is based on a lifetime learning concept in addition to technical skills. The building blocks for our system are monthly themes such as:
| Goals | Friendship | Perseverance |
| Self-Control | Confidence | Self-Improvement |
| Courtesy | Self Awareness | Respect |
| Integrity | Self-Esteem | Dedication |
In addition to monthly themes, our system includes the unique victory patch. Kids are rewarded special “Victory Stars.” These different colored stars are rewarded for outstanding performance in karate class, school, home or at a tournament competition. Kids may receive the following stars for the following deeds:
| Gold | Straight A’s, honor roll, or significant improvement |
| Silver | Special performance awards |
| Blue | Monthly themes, weekly lessons, classroom performance |
| Red | Tournament participation |
